various types of cracked teeth<\/a> and different ways to treat them. It\u2019s important for you to be able to recognize these differences as well.<\/p>\nCraze Lines<\/h3>\n
Tiny cracks on the outside of your teeth that only affect the outer layer of your tooth (enamel).<\/p>\n
Fractured Cusp<\/h3>\n
When a piece of your tooth\u2019s chewing surface breaks off. It\u2019s not usually too painful.<\/p>\n
Cracked Tooth<\/h3>\n
When the crack extends from the chewing surface down toward the root. It will definitely get worse if not treated and can result in tooth loss.<\/p>\n
Split Tooth<\/h3>\n
If a tooth has become split, it\u2019s usually because it was originally cracked and didn\u2019t receive the appropriate dental care. After being neglected, you can identify two spate segments.<\/p>\n
Vertical Root Fracture<\/h3>\n
When a crack begins in the root of the tooth and extends to the chewing surface. These types of cracked teeth hardly show symptoms until the surrounding jawbone and soft tissue become infected.<\/p>\n
Dental Procedures to Fix Cracked Teeth<\/h2>\n
Here are some of the dental procedures we offer at Weldon General & Cosmetic Dentistry. Your dentist in Ocala will determine which of the following treatments are best for you and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n
Veneers are covers for a tooth created of tooth-like, durable dental porcelain. The veneer is bonded to the front of your tooth, transforming your smile\u2019s appearance. This is a great replacement option if you have minor cracks like craze lines that are noticeable when your smile.<\/p>\n
Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n
If your tooth is cracked and you\u2019re now experiencing pain when you chew, drink, speak, or eat, Dr. Weldon may recommend a dental crown. A dental crown caps the affected tooth with tooth-colored porcelain. This will give your smile newfound stability and an improved appearance.<\/p>\n
Root Canal<\/h3>\n
If the crack in your tooth has extended to the root of your tooth, you can get a root canal to treat it. A root canal will remove any dental debris and bacteria from inside the tooth and<\/em> seal it with a sturdy dental crown.<\/p>\nDental Implants<\/h3>\n
If the crack in your tooth exceeds even lower than your gum line, your tooth is unfortunately no longer treatable. Since your natural tooth has already exceeded the point of saving it, you will need to consider tooth replacement options. Dental implants are the best way to replace your natural teeth because they mimic your tooth from root to crown with three biocompatible pieces: titanium implant posts, abutments, and the dental prosthetic of your choice.<\/p>\n
